We had a wonderful time in Portland yesterday! We went to our favorite German Bakery, to Powell's (of course), and shopping! Well, mostly window shopping in stores we dream about buying in! We all met Raven and Nina at a little Senagelees resturaunt for dinner. It was right across from the Farmers Market so we had live music with dinner. Isa was wonderful which made the trip very fun. Now we're off to Sunriver this morning to help Hanni move. It's just good that our travel times coinside with Isa's nap schedual!



FREEDOM!!! I finished my last day at EEI today

FREEDOM!!! I finished my last day at EEI today. I don't think it has hit me just yet. It probably won't hit me until school starts again.
Today they threw a party for me, with all of the classes coming up to the gym to say goodbye. A few of the grade school kids made up a dance for me, with two boys singing along with the song. It was pretty cool. The preschool kids made me a card with personal pictures, and most of the grade school kids made me a card. Some of the parents gave me gift certificates to a couple of resteraunts ( I love those parents). Pat, my boss, gave a Boarder's. I thought it wouldn't effect me much, but I ended up with tears in my eyes certificate.
Know it is off to new challenges. Wish me luck.



It feels like the calm before the storm

It feels like the calm before the storm. Life is waiting quietly for the next baby to arrive. Robbie gave his two week notice at EEI. His last day is next Friday. He's feeling a mix of saddness and pure joy. I on the other hand am having a blast working, even when there are clients that act like Eyore!

Good News! After a year of waiting Hanni sold her house! The buyers are a couple from Portland who need to reinvest some money within 180 days. So they made a cash offer for the asking price! Robbie and I are--as I type-- searching for apartments, as she has to move by the end of the month. Robbie is seriously thinking about leaving EEI and staying home with Isabell. I told him that he could get together with Jenny and Jamie and complain about their working spouses who "just don't understand." Dispite the hard work involved, he actually seems pretty psyched about the idea. I guess after 40 kidos a day, one is a breeze! Our life is busy, but mostly we are just waiting (a bit impatiantly) for baby Banks to be born!
